The present invention discloses an art for eliminating the dependency of
the optical modulator on the polarization degree by using an orthogonal
mode light which is a mixture of two lights that are perpendicular to
each other in polarization direction as a light source. An optical
communication system of the present invention comprises: a first optical
generator and a second optical generator for generating a first single
mode light and a second single mode light, respectively, wherein the
first single mode light and the second single mode light are orthogonal
and non-interfering with each other, and have the same wavelength; a
mixing means for mixing the first single mode light and the second single
mode light to output an orthogonal mode light; and an optical modulator
for amplifying and modulating the orthogonal mode light after receiving
the orthogonal mode light through an optical fiber so as to produce a
constantly amplified optical signal regardless of a deflection degree of
the orthogonal mode light.
